On June 26, 2012, at approximately 8:03 p.m., Vermont State Police responded to VT RT 17 in Fayston for a report of a single vehicle collision. Upon arrival, a white Subaru Impreza was observed to be overturned on its roof off the south side of the roadway. The vehicle left the southern side of the roadway, collided with a telephone pole and proceeded to overturn, causing the vehicle to become entangled in the electrical wires. Upon contacting Green Mountain Power, the power supply was shut off and EMS personnel were able to approach the vehicle to determine Jonah Rule, age 32, of Starksboro, to be deceased. EMS worked to extract Rule prior to being transported by Perkins Funeral Home to the Chief Medical Examiner’s Office in Burlington for an autopsy. The cause of the accident remains under investigation.
